Ceramics

certificate

This School of Art + Art History certificate program enables students with a major outside of the visual arts to take a series of courses within the studio arts where clay is used as the art material. Classes expose students to art-making practices within the field of ceramics, develop manual skills in clay forming, increase visual understanding of content in art, and enable the student to explore personal decision-making and creative problem-solving in art-making.
